[0046] The following is an explanation of the implementation of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementations, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0047] In the present utility model, it should be noted that the term "transparent" does not only mean fully transparent. The degree of transparency can be selected according to different usage scenarios and different needs. In the description of the present utility model, "transparent" means that the internal situation of the referred device or structure can be observed from the outside, such as fully transparent, semi-transparent, etc. It does not indicate or imply that the referred device or structure must be fully transparent, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific protection scope of the present utility model.

[0048] like Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the card sorting machine desktop with a transparent shell of the present invention. The card sorting machine desktop with a transparent shell 10 is divided into two parts. The first part is the card sorting machine body 11, which is the main structure used to control the card sorting machine for entertainment activities, mainly including shuffling and sorting cards; the second part is the transparent shell 12, which is set on the outside of the card sorting machine body 11 to protect the card sorting machine body 11. The transparent shell 12 is detachably connected to the card sorting machine body 11. During the operation of the card sorting machine body 11, it is inevitable that cards will get stuck. At this time, the card sorting machine needs to be completely disassembled and checked one by one to accurately find the card position for maintenance. In this example, the top and bottom of the card sorting machine body 11 are non-transparent, and the surrounding surfaces of the card sorting machine body 11 are transparent. Therefore, the transparent shell 12 of the utility model arranged around the card sorting machine body 11 can intuitively observe the situation of the card sorting machine body 11 from the side. Then, when the card sorting machine body 11 is stuck or has parts damaged, the specific card and part damage positions can be directly observed, so as to accurately disassemble and repair, saving user time and improving user experience.

[0049] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the transparent shell 12 includes a transparent panel frame 121, a transparent bottom plate frame 122 and a transparent side frame 123. The transparent side frame 123 is sandwiched between the transparent panel frame 121 and the transparent bottom plate frame 122, thereby forming a transparent shell 12 with a hollow center, that is, the transparent shell 12 is hollow in the middle, and then the transparent shell 12 is sleeved around the card sorting machine body 11, that is, the card sorting machine body 11 is embedded in the middle of the transparent shell 12 to form a card sorting machine desktop 10 with a transparent shell, at which time the bottom and top of the card sorting machine body 11 will be exposed, and the transparent side frame 123 has a certain height. Preferably, the height of the transparent side frame 123 is consistent with the height of the card sorting machine body 11, so that the upper surface and the lower surface of the card sorting machine body 11 are flush with the transparent panel frame 121 and the transparent bottom plate frame 122 to form a flat plane. When entertainment activities are needed, they can be performed directly on the card sorting machine desktop 10 with a transparent shell. When inspection and maintenance are needed, the card sorting machine desktop 10 can be directly turned over for inspection and maintenance. Furthermore, a transparent drawer 124 is provided on each of the four sides of the transparent shell 12 for storing the user's personal items, such as mobile phones, lighters, cigarettes, etc.

[0050] In this example, the card sorting machine body 11 is a square structure with a certain thickness, so the transparent shell 12 used to cover the card sorting machine body 11 is also a square frame structure, and then the transparent side frame 123 is a square frame structure with a certain thickness. Figure 2 As shown, the transparent panel frame 121 is a square plane frame structure, and the transparent bottom plate frame 122 is also a square plane frame structure. At this time, the transparent side frame 123 is sandwiched between the transparent panel frame 121 and the transparent bottom plate frame 122 to form a transparent shell 12 with a square frame structure, which is used to cover the card sorting machine body 11. It should be noted that the card sorting machine body 11 can also be in other shapes, such as a circle or a triangle. Accordingly, the shape of the transparent shell 12 can be determined according to the shape of the card sorting machine body 11. Here, the card sorting machine body 11 and the transparent shell 12 are both square for explanation.

[0051] In a further example, if Figure 3As shown, there is a transparent upper cover plate 13 on the tabletop 10 of the card sorting machine with a transparent shell, that is, a transparent upper cover plate 13 is provided above the card sorting machine body 11 which is provided with a transparent shell 12, and the transparent upper cover plate 13 is a square plane structure. When no entertainment activities are carried out, the transparent upper cover plate 13 is placed on the card sorting machine body 11. At this time, the card sorting machine tabletop 10 can be used as a daily table for placing other items. At the same time, since the surface of the card sorting machine body 11 is velvet, it is very easy to get dusty, and then the transparent upper cover plate 13 can also cover the card sorting machine body 11 to prevent dust from falling. When entertainment activities are needed, the transparent upper cover plate 13 can be removed to carry out entertainment activities. Furthermore, pads 126 are provided above the four corners of the transparent panel frame 121, and the transparent upper cover plate 13 is arranged on the transparent panel frame 121 and the card sorting machine body 11 through the pads 126. Thereby, a longitudinal gap is provided between the transparent upper cover plate 13 and the transparent side frame 123 , so that the transparent upper cover plate 13 can be directly removed from the card sorting machine body 11 and the transparent side frame 123 .

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the transparent side frame 123 includes a transparent inner frame 1231 and a transparent outer frame 1232, and both the transparent inner frame 1231 and the transparent outer frame 1232 are square structures. A certain gap is left between the transparent outer frame 1232 and the transparent inner frame 1231, and a square annular cavity 1233 is formed between the transparent outer frame 1232 and the transparent inner frame 1231, that is, the annular cavity 1233 is formed between the transparent panel frame 121 and the transparent bottom plate frame 122.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, there is a drawer opening 1234 in the middle of each of the four sides of the transparent outer frame 1232, and the four transparent drawers 124 are respectively arranged at each drawer opening 1234 of the transparent outer frame 1232. Figure 6 As shown, the transparent drawer 124 has a drawer baffle 1241 and a drawer cavity 1242. The drawer cavity 1242 can be located within the annular cavity 1233, and the drawer baffle 1241 can just fit with the drawer opening 1234 on the circumference of the transparent outer frame 1232, so that the surrounding surfaces of the transparent outer frame 1232 can be closed to form a complete wall surface. The opening of the drawer cavity 1242 faces the top of the transparent outer frame 1232, and the internal space of the drawer cavity 1242 gradually shrinks from the opening downward toward the direction of the drawer baffle 1241, so that the cross section formed between the drawer cavity 1242 and the drawer baffle 1241 is triangular. It should be noted that other shapes can also be used as long as a cavity can be formed in the annular cavity 1233. Here, the cross section is a triangle as an example for explanation.

[0054] Continue as Figure 4As shown, there is a storage bin 1235 in the annular cavity 1233 between the transparent outer frame 1232 and the transparent inner frame 1231, which is used to store other items of the user. The storage bin 1235 is located at the four corners of the annular cavity 1233, that is, the storage bin 1235 is formed between two adjacent transparent drawers 124, and the storage bin 1235 is an L-shaped storage bin 1235. Of course, the shape of the storage bin 1235 depends on the shape of the annular cavity 1233. Here, the annular cavity 1233 is square for description, so the storage bin 1235 is L-shaped.

[0055] In one example, the transparent inner frame 1231 is directly mounted on the four sides of the card sorting machine body 11, thereby making the card sorting machine body 11 stable. However, the four sides of the card sorting machine body 11 are not necessarily completely flat, so after the transparent inner frame 1231 is directly mounted on the four sides of the card sorting machine body 11, the card sorting machine body 11 and the transparent inner frame 1231 cannot fit perfectly, and there will inevitably be gaps that are difficult to fill.

[0056] Further, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the transparent inner frame 1231 is divided into a transparent first frame 1236 and a transparent second frame 1237. The transparent first frame 1236 can be embedded in the uneven surrounding surfaces of the card sorting machine body 11 to form a card sorting machine body 11 with a flat wall. The transparent second frame 1237 is sleeved outside the transparent first frame 1236 and fits tightly with the transparent first frame 1236, thereby forming an annular cavity 1233 between the transparent second frame 1237 and the transparent outer frame 1232. For example, the four sides of the card sorting machine body 11 have trapezoidal protrusions near the four corners, so trapezoidal notches 1236a are designed near the frame corners at both ends of the frame edge of the transparent first frame 1236, and the protrusions of the card sorting machine body 11 can just fit with the notches 1236a on the transparent first frame 1236, that is, the trapezoidal protrusions on the peripheral surface of the card sorting machine body 11 are embedded in the trapezoidal notches 1236a of the transparent first frame 1236, thereby making the uneven card sorting machine body 11 become a card sorting machine body 11 with a flat wall surface. It should be noted that the shape of the notch on the frame edge of the transparent first frame 1236 is not fixed, and is determined by the protrusions on the peripheral surface of the card sorting machine body 11. As long as it can fit with the protrusions on the peripheral wall of the card sorting machine body 11 to make the wall surface of the card sorting machine body 11 flat, it is sufficient. Here, the notch of the transparent first frame 1236 and the protrusions on the peripheral surface of the card sorting machine body 11 are both trapezoidal as an example for explanation. Furthermore, the transparent second frame 1237 is mounted on the outside of the transparent first frame 1236. Since the walls around the card sorting machine body 11 are flat after the transparent first frame 1236 is mounted, the card sorting machine body 11 and the transparent second frame 1237 can fit tightly after the transparent second frame 1237 is mounted, that is, there is no gap between the card sorting machine body 11 and the transparent second frame 1237, so that the annular cavity formed is more regular in shape, which is convenient for storing and placing items.

[0057] The transparent shell 12 of the present invention is made of acrylic material, which has good toughness, is not easy to be damaged, is easy to clean, is very convenient, and is also beautiful.

[0058] The transparent housing 12 of the present invention can also be formed by splicing multiple housings, and the splicing method can be adhesive connection or snap connection or connection using fasteners, and the fasteners are generally screws or bolts.

[0059] In another example, a card sorting machine has table legs and a card sorting machine tabletop 10 with a transparent shell of the utility model. The table legs 14 are vertically arranged below the card sorting machine tabletop 10 to support the card sorting machine tabletop 10. Further, the card sorting machine is a mahjong machine, a pai gow machine, or a poker machine.

[0060] The utility model is described in detail above in conjunction with the embodiments of the drawings.
